Hi All,

I am looking for a 26/27 inch display to hook up my comp & HD Set Top Box in my bedroom. Want something where i can enjoy my HD movies & HDTV & some casual browsing when i am home.

Must Haves:
26/27 inch Screen
1920 X 1080 min
Below 30k (pref below 20k)
Anti Glare Screen

Preference:
LED Screen (it will be set on a desk but still i ll prefer LED)
Stand with option to rotate screen horizontally at least if not vertically
An IPS Panel for richer color
Good connectivity options

Can do without:
Crazy refresh rates of 2ms as not into gaming much, Quake 3 is enough.
Little or no sound as have Logitech Z-5500

I am a digit reader since the mag in by the name of CHIP, yet have been very passive reader, this forum is quite alive now then when i was last here.. Keep up the good work..

Waiting valued inputs as very rarely i am in a doubt about tech stuff ..

Amar

just to add.. any info on 2d ready monitors in 27 inch size, more than 3d i would love to have those as i have very sensitive eyes & can detect flicker at 60Hz..

Yes, if monitor has HDMI port and also box must have it too.

Thanks for clarifying my doubt:-D Then I think the monitor will be better because it has got better viewing angle and price is also around Rs.20k. Go for it:cool:
